Traditionally, the apple falls far from the tree in Trier - into the nearest Viezporz (mug). At least if the tree is in an orchard. A wide variety of cider apples are harvested from there in autumn, which are particularly suitable for making cider due to their tannin content. But how long has the tart and sour cider actually been drunk in this country? Does ‘Viez’ actually come from the Latin word ‘vice’ for the substitute wine? And why exactly did the UNESCO Commission add Viez to the list of intangible cultural heritage in 2024?

In this entertaining and extremely tasty presentation, which celebrates its premiere this year with dedicated and Viez-enthusiastic tour guides, these questions are not only clarified, but are also given a fluid foundation in five different Viez tasting rounds. And it becomes clear: in the variety of its ageing techniques and flavour nuances, Viez is in almost no way inferior to wine. Let yourself be led up the orchard path!
